Mirabaud Grand Paris
SUPPORTING THE EMERGENCE OF A MAJOR WORLD METROPOLIS
Mirabaud Grand Paris offers a unique chance to capture the Grand Paris opportunity – the largest urban development project in the city since Baron Haussman’s grand constructions of the 1860s.
The French government has outlined a 30-year strategy to consolidate the areas around Paris into one vast conurbation of 7.5 million people connected by a €35bn EUR infrastructure upgrade.
This transformational undertaking promises to revolutionise the real estate opportunity in the French capital:
Infrastucture
200km of new railways will connect 68 new stations to transport two million commuters across the new conurbation. The grand paris project overall unites 131 municipalities into a single economic and political territory that makes up more than 30% of france’s gdp.
Housing and sustainability
The French government has set a target of 70,000 new homes to be built every year in Grand Paris – double the previous rate. Also, office buildings are required to reduce their energy consumption by 40% by 2030, promising a huge amount of construction activity as they are upgraded.
Expansion
The 21st century is set to be an era of competing international cities, and Grand Paris is the long-term strategy for putting Paris in prime position in this contest. It has fuelled an explosion in development in the region, with 800 projects launched every year.
OUR STRATEGY
We support the emergence of the Grand Paris by co-investing with tier one developers to acquire land or existing buildings to redevelop into both commercial and residential projects. We transform underused plot into attractive assets.
These new neighbourhoods will benefit from value derived from new transport links, which will accelerate change in former industrial sites and encourage progressive urbanisation.
We offer a unique opportunity to create value from the Grand Paris Express:
Developing both residential and commercial projects
Prudent approach to leverage on every project
Developers carefully selected on the basis of financial position, governance, quality of reporting, and positioning within the wider Grand Paris theme.
A UNIQUE SPARRING PARTNER FOR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS
To remain competitive, developers require alternative sources of capital.
We provide such solutions by acting as both a capital provider and project partner assisting them in fostering the preparation and submission of building permit and managing the process from acquisition to commercialisation.
SUSTAINABILITY AND MIRABAUD GRAND PARIS
Sustainability is central to Mirabaud Grand Paris as we play our part in cementing the city’s place in the front rank of places to do business for generations to come. Mirabaud Grand Paris follows the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) article 9.
- ‘Brownfield’ or former industrial sites will be depolluted and made productive
- Mass transit infrastructure will reduce car use
- Stringent French energy efficiency regulations will apply to all new buildings, with all new constructions after 2020 required to produce more energy than they consume
- Social housing will help ease overcrowding in the city
- The project as a whole promises substantial benefits to both the Parisian and French economies, whether in construction or in the creation of new business venues.
